The power of Ayasdi is its unique ability to automatically discover insights - regardless of complexity - without asking questions.

The answers to today's most important scientific, business, and social problems lie in data.

I lived in fear that other engineers would stop me in the street and ask me a math question, and I wouldn't know the answer.

The number of queries in a large dataset is exponential, and it's growing exponentially. No matter how fast you make your system, you're never going to be able to get all that information.

I'm going to say something rather controversial. Big data, as people understand it today, is just a bigger version of small data. Fundamentally, what we're doing with data has not changed; there's just more of it.

We don't use the term 'big data' - not on our website, not with customers. Saying it sets up expectations, the wrong expectations.

People believe the best way to learn from the data is to have a hypothesis and then go check it, but the data is so complex that someone who is working with a data set will not know the most significant things to ask. That's a huge problem.

Technologies like Ayasdi's exist now to automatically discover information from data without having someone making guesses up front.
